The C-H bonds of hydrocarbons are oxidized catalytically by the electron-deficient Pacman porphyrin, (DPDF)Fe2O, using visible light and molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant and oxygen atom source. The photocatalytic reactions proceed under mild conditions (ambient temperature and pressure) without the need for an external co-reductant.
